Ok, so really I don't have the budget to buy new rims for my gt4.
I have the oem rims on it, I thought I'd follow a guide from the forum and paint them semi-gloss black to fit with the spoiler mount blocks and the set of lips and side skirts I ordered today...what do you guys think? |

dont go 6.5 wide on a gt4, 8 inch wide is also unnecessary.
215 tyres are perfect, 225 is acceptable but too much rubber, going 8 inches wide will give you drift stretch on anything smaller than 235 (which is way too much rubber), you'll end up with clearance issues no matter what you do. also dont go smaller spacer in the rear than up front, you'll end up with a 10mm smaller track in the rear, you'll have a sudden 180 degree fishtail when you least expect it, there will be no warning of giving in. wider or equal rear stagger is a MUST. 17x7 or 17x7.5 with 215/45/17 or 16x7.5 with 215/50/16 or 225/50/16 dont go below 7 inches wide or above 7.5 inches wide... and dont over or under 3% of factory rolling diameter. You're just ruining Toyota's perfect setup, Who are we to decide compared to Toyota engineers? I don't like factory either but c'mon function over form. Don't listen to ricers, hella flush or honda kids. Or people that have no experience with st205's. ST204/ST202 looks similar to ST205 and thats where the similarities end. This car is built for speed, speeds which are totally unforgiving if you go experimenting with skinny wheels and reverse stagger. -------------------- Mike W
